In creating a culture of peace and addressing sustainable development challenges, UNESCO aims to cultivate the generation and application of scientific knowledge among its Member States. At UNACOM, we facilitate access to UNESCO’s international programmes in the sciences, such as the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme, and International Geoscience and Geoparks Programme (IGGP), among others.

Through this sector, the Commission aims to contribute to the following SDGs: 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities, 13 - Climate Action, 14 - Life Below Water, and 15 - Life On Land. With the overarching vision of the 2023-2028 Philippine Development Plan (PDP), UNACOM targets grassroots-inspired cultural heritage and biodiversity protection and conservation, as well as multi-stakeholder partnerships for SDGs promotion.

    Semilla, Nestle (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2022-11-18)
    For the next three months, fishing of some species at the Visayan Sea would be prohibited, said the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in Central Visayas (BFAR-7). Starting on Nov. 15 until Feb. 15, 2023, fishers would not be allowed to catch pelagic species such as sardines, herrings and mackerels from the Visayan Sea to allow them to spawn and flourish in number, BFAR-7 said in a social media post on Thursday. The ban, which was based on the Fisheries Administrative Order No. 167-3 issued in 2013, was also intended to sustain the livelihood of small-scale or municipal fishers.

    BFAR urged to lead fight vs HB 7853
    Gomez, Eireene Jairee (The Manila Times Publishing Corporation, 2021-04-30)
    Environmental group Oceana, along with more than 1,100 fisherfolk groups across the country, urged Department of Agriculture (DA) and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) to lead the opposition to House Bill 7853 that will allow commercial fishing operations in the country’s municipal waters. “We need to uphold the law and complete the implementation of reforms under the amended Fisheries Code,” the groups said in a joint statement that was sent to the author of the bill, Cebu Third District Rep. Pablo John Garcia, and members of the House of Representatives Committee on Aquaculture and Fisheries. “Instead of supporting the artisanal fisherfolk improve their capacity and efficiency in their fishing efforts that will improve their livelihood and rise above from hunger and malnutrition, they will open up the municipal water to commercial fishing operations. All the efforts to increase production in fisheries while improving the life and livelihood of municipal fisherfolk will lead to nothing,” they further said.
